History repeats itself: Time for the Great Archer Nerf of 2011

[Peregrine]

Your opinion = fact now? Good to know.

History is a class. It has a purpose. One of those purposes is to keep you from doing what you're doing right this second. Repeating mistakes.

I agree, archers should be weaker. I mean they can attack from far away and bind mobs. Come on. They should do mid damage at most.
Maybe keep the sick damage on like really expensive arrows they can't use all the time.

Bind doesnt work worth a damn anyways. And yes, the crazy damage does stem a lot from proper gear. Anyone who says archers are overpowered hasnt seen a proper Marauder or Lancer

[Peregrine]

I vote we nerf CON because it can cure for more than Archer and while we are at it nerf THM because it can debuff better. Lets go the whole hog and nerf everything because every class does something better than Archer and we can't have a class being better at something than another now can we.

I don't care what you do to con. Conjurer needs to be watched like a hawk too because of what BLACK MAGE proved it would do to the game if we let it.

Black mages got their nerf too. Nerf it. See what I do. It won't be to level the next fad job.

Hey guys my MRD can tank All of the NM's, nerf it. That's Gladiator's job!

Don't try telling me anything else because it's fact!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope. Your lancer gets its ass kicked by your archer. Our marauders and lancers have the best gear in the game. They can't keep up on the parser.

Oh look, another archer. I can main heal all of the NMs on marauder. You were already proven wrong by history, because your father, Mr. Ranger, was as poorly designed as you are know. You can therefore already tell what will happen to you in the future. You are your father's ranger.

Can't be pulled off by any other job, period. If there's any job that should have the ability to stack 3 hits, archer is the last job on the list because of its other advantages.

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not possible. And you can't stack Multishot with a WS... So don't assume he had three shots on that one from the vid, it was one.

You all don't have the maturity to not choose 6 archers and 2 thaumaturges to beat difficutly-designed content. None of us do. Again, we've already proven that that's what we'll do if archer stays like it is.

6 archers and 2 thaumaturges are what we will throw at any difficult content, because difficult MMO content EJECTS meleers the SECOND they start getting AoE'd and "feeding it TP."

And here's where you lose me..."You all?" You don't even know us. Your posts are full of assumption on the part of the players. Get over it. There are a lot of us who DO look for challenges in games. Plenty of us who DO try to solo things that aren't meant to be. And plenty of us who DON'T choose 6 archers for easy mode.

BTW, there's also TP gain mitigation via Battle Regimens and skills, so you're arguements about feeding the mob TP are irrelevant. Also, casting AoE cures cost no more than single target, so "MP Sponges" don't really exist. Not to mention MP is so plentiful in this game now, it doesn't cause any downtime between mobs.

You're basing your stance against Archers on XI mechanics. This is a different game.

Nope. Your lancer gets its ass kicked by your archer. Our marauders and lancers have the best gear in the game. They can't keep up on the parser.

Keep telling yourself that buddy.

I just watched an archer do 3k damage in one weaponskill on youtube. I have a screenshot of an archer doing 3k damage on dodore. Do YOU know how archer works? cause...everyone else flocking to it does.

lol 3k ws on dodo....

link or troll...

[Isaaru]

Peregrine, you don't make any sense.

And btw I've been playing ARC since release, never had played RNG in FFXI. I Ranked MRD because I got bored on just ARC. Now I play them both equally.

AGAIN: Wait until they release their job system before discussing a nerf, why do you think THM still hasn't been nerfed? Oh wait you don't think, that's why you made this thread.
